Grammy Nominees by Urie Norris III

And the Nominee is… Mary J Blige this year! Mary J. Blige will continue her reign of being the "soul singing diva" of our time. This year at the Grammy's, Blige will garner 8 nominations. It is no surprise why she was able to do this with her well-fit titled Breakthrough release. One of Mary J. Blige’s 8 nominations includes the highest nomination: Record of the Year. This is no surprise because of the top line of producers on this record such as Rodney Jerkins, and will.i.am, both receiving nominations themselves. Six nominations went to Red Hot Chili Peppers, followed by James Blunt, the Dixie Chicks, John Mayer, Danger Mouse, Prince, Rick Rubin, will.i.am and John Williams each earning five nods. Of course Beyonce, Bryan-Michael Cox, Gnarls Barkley, Israel Houghton, T.I, and Justin Timberlake receive: four nominations each. The 49Th Annual Grammy Awards will take place in Los Angeles at the Staples Center on Sunday, February 11, 2007, and air on CBS television.
